Georgia Tech doesn't need additional motivation to beat Georgia this Saturday in Athens, but the Yellow Jackets have some if they want it. It's possible that the Jackets, with an upset of the No. 5 Bulldogs, could be the first team picked in the ACC bowl lineup after Clemson's anticipated

ATHENS, Ga. - The last time Georgia hosted its state rival, the famed hedges surrounding the field at Sanford Stadium took quite a beating.

Following a discussion on the Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling hosted by the George Washington University Federalist Society, the Student Bar Association and law school dean sent emails condemning the invited speaker from the Alliance Defending Freedom.

“ADF is classified as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center," GWU Student Bar Association President Ali Kingston said in an email, a copy of which Campus Reform obtained. "ADF has supported the recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S., works to develop ‘religious liberty’ legislation and case law that will allow the denial of goods and services to LGBT people, and is continuously working to overturn marriage equality and remove other protections in place for members of the LGBTQIA+ community."

The claims made against ADF in the email appear to be copied directly from the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is an American nonprofit legal advocacy organization specializing in civil rights and public interest litigation. The SPLC has been criticized in the past for labeling conservative or Christian groups as "hate groups" for ideological reasons.

“The Student Bar Association condemns homophobic, biphobic, or transphobic hate speech that leads members of this community to feel unsafe or uncomfortable at our school," Kingston continued. "We urge students to keep in mind which groups they choose to give a platform to and recognize their roles in fostering a sense of inclusivity and mutual respect in our community."

GWU law school Dean Blake D. Morant sent an email similar to the Student Bar Association.

The College of the Holy Cross canceled classes Friday afternoon at the College of the Holy Cross in response to an alleged anti-gay assault that occurred on campus.

The alleged hate crime was reported in the early hours of Oct. 27, but the college has refused to release any other details regarding the incident, the Worcester Telegram reported. The sexes of both the alleged perpetrator and victim are unknown, as well as if the victim was injured.

Holy Cross campus police did not file any formal charges or make any arrests, according to the Worcester District Attorney’s Office. A Worcester police spokesman said that neither he nor the Special Crimes unit, which deals with hate crimes, had received notification of the alleged hate crime.

The incident sparked an outcry on campus, resulting in the drafting and signing of a letter by more than 1,000 students and faculty members to the president of the college, Rev. Philip Boroughs.

“The damage caused by acts of bias-motivated hate and violence is tremendous,” a portion of the letter reads. “There is a perception that the college as an institution embraces a culture of silence around many such events, and that when communication does occur, it is too often both minimal in content and insubstantial in action.”

Student and faculty signatories of the letter suggested canceling class for up to one week and recommended that the school hold “teach-ins, vigils, [and] community conversations” in the letter delivered to Boroughs on Nov. 8.

The next day, the Holy Cross president announced that classes would be canceled on the afternoon of Nov. 16 and that a “sensitivity” summit would be held in lieu of classes. Holy Cross intended for the summit, titled the ENGAGE Summit, to be a talk on “respect and inclusion” and creating a campus “community that supports and celebrates all its members.”

Participation in the summit was voluntary, but some events resulted in crowded rooms, leaving some students to sit on the floor in order to participate, according to The Spire. Three workshop se
